Hes a decent guy. Ive messaged him a few times on here about certain details on environmental conditions reguarding bolt guns and some levers. Didnt know he was on a TV show but then again i dont have TV.
Hes used the old 1895 win, savage 99, and Browning BLR. I i recall correctly he told me the compact Ruger bolt actions were stellar and reliable more than those various leverguns.
Anyway good luck to him, hope he stays safe.
Its been my experience that the M77 Mk2/Hawkeye is the battle rifle of sporting rifles.
More reliable than the Springfield , Enfield, and all the commercial 98 Mausers I've had and used.
None of the enclosed bolt face (push feed) bolt rifles come close.
One of the Alaska shows, Life Below Zero , iirc has a guy from Huslia. He usually packs a Ruger M77 Hawkeye Scout rifle and I've also seen him with a Guide Gun/Rifle in 375 Ruger.
For his application they are the Perfect rifles.
